Depending on how strictly you define "walkaround", you might like the
Luhrs 30. Great little diesel fishing boat.

Rampage also has a new diesel powered 30-foot "walkaround".

I like that boat a lot. Boating had retail on it listed at $99k. Is that
right? Sounds cheap.

Carolina Classic has a 28 and a 32.

The problem with all of these "walkarounds" is that you really can't walk
around them when fighting a fish. The Contender 31 Center Cabin is a true
"walkaround". The True World has adequate foot space to walk around on too.
believe that the only true diesel walkaround out there is the True World.

I have a Proline 211 walkaround cuddy. I have gone around the cuddy many times
fighting fish without a problem. Of course, the waves weren't in the 3-5' range
either.

I'm not sure what the retail is on a new one, but I agree that $99k
sounds cheap- almost like a gas engine price.

I'm still not convinced that diesels are cheaper to run than the DI
type outboards.

===================================

Usually the real issue is range, not running cost. For the same tank
capacity range is about double with a diesel. Reliabilty/longevity
is usually better with diesel also.

But doesn't range equate to efficiency?
